Chapter 29: Acquaintance

"Jenna is here. ”

In the lobby on the second floor of an office building in Busan, there are already a lot of people at the moment.

But fortunately, the entire second floor of the office building is not small, with all kinds of clothing, traditional costumes or suits, men, women and children.

The sound of the old laughing and the little ones running around. Middle-aged people are chatting with their cups, young people are sitting there fiddling with their phones, or they are greeting each other and chatting about topics. For example, movie idol artists and the like.

When Xu Zhenna walked in, a fifty-year-old aunt hurriedly grabbed her and clapped her hands: "You are here." So many people are waiting for you to register, look at you. ”

Xu Zhenna didn't expect so many people to come, so she was very sorry to say: "Traffic jam." So it's a little late. ”

Looking around, Xu Zhenna was curious: "Auntie, why are so many people here today?"

The aunt who is called aunt is a distant relative of Xu Zhenna who has a lot of contacts, and at this time she smiled and patted her hand: "It's not a good thing to come more?"

Suddenly patting her head, her aunt dragged Xu Zhenna: "Quick." Mrs. Xu has been registering for you for half a day. But the genealogy is with you, and she can only record it first. ”

Xu Zhenna was curious while following: "Which relative is Mrs. Xu?"

The aunt shook her head to speak, but it was already there.

A lady of forty-six or seventeen, crouched down in front of her seat with a pen and writing something, did help to write something down at this time.

"Mrs. Xu. ”

The aunt screamed, and Mrs. Xu looked up, looking ordinary, but still temperamental. At first glance, it looks very cultivated.

"Inside...... Aunt Nim. ”

Mrs. Xu smiled gently, Xu Zhenna paused, and also curled the corners of her mouth, feeling as if her temper was a little similar to herself. Although it is only the first impression.

"Tell me about it. ”

Aunt motioned to Xu Zhenna: "This is the one who records the genealogy." It's keeping you busy for so long. ”

Xu Zhenna saluted and smiled: "Anihasai has." ”

Mrs. Xu also returned the courtesy: "Inside, Pang Gang Smecta." ”

Xu Zhenna is sorry: "My name is Xu Zhenna. It's late, so you can help all the time. ”

Mrs. Xu also smiled: "Ani, in fact, you are waiting to be idle." Aunt Nim is afraid that everyone will have something to do and will be too busy. So ......"

"That's up to you. ”

Aunt motioned to Xu Zhenna: "I'll ask people to line up now...... That's right. ”

The aunt looked at Xu Zhenna curiously: "Didn't the favor come?"

Xu Zhenna nodded: "Anyway, if it's recorded by your own family, I'll come over if I don't have classes in the afternoon." If you can't get back, go back and record it. ”

The aunt smiled and pointed at Mrs. Xu: "The children in her family are the same." That's just right. ”

After speaking, she waved her hand to signal that the two of them were busy, and she began to organize people.

In fact. In the clan association, it is similar to the position of president, but it is the women of the family. It has to be a higher seniority.

In the early days, female elders were mainly in charge of logistics in the clan association. But this is not a war, where men charge in front and women do laundry, cooking, sewing and mending socks in the back. So it's basically because men don't work, and female elders have to do everything. For example, making rice cakes, such as making kimchi. For example, you have to get a lot of food, sometimes hundreds of people.

I can't even straighten my waist.

Because of this, female elders have become actually very important organizers and arrangers.

Of course, even if the clan association is still a traditional folk activity, there is no need to cook and cook for yourself. A hotel charter is all it takes to eat.

No need to prepare or get tired.

But the female elders still have a lot of say and are very respected, and this has never changed.

My aunt was the elder who organized the clan association this time, and she originally asked Xu Zhenna's father to come over, but her father went abroad to do research work and hold a meeting. So temporarily let Xu Zhenna come over to take charge. After all, almost all of them are scholarly related professions, and Xu Zhenna is naturally very responsible.

Yesterday, I also told Eunhui's father in advance.

Unexpectedly, it was still late.

"Mrs. Xu...... Don't have the surname Xu?"

Xu Zhenna waited to take out the family tree to record, which used to have to be entered by the male in the family. Times have changed, and the ladies and elders have the right to speak, and it doesn't matter who enters it.

It's just that the genealogy is very important and has always been kept in my aunt's house. This was entered again after 30 years, so I took it out and handed it to Xu Zhenna's father.

"Inside...... My husband's surname is Xu. I have a job today and can't come. I replaced. ”

Mrs. Xu opened her mouth to answer, and then the entry began to line up. Mainly not entered in thirty years.

And the trouble is that you can't just write a name. It is not wrong to go back to your ancestors and where your elders have traced them.

But fortunately, Mrs. Xu has recorded a lot on a piece of paper.

Xu Zhenna took it over and copied it first.

I didn't wait for the copying to finish, I only copied a little, after all, I still have to compare them one by one.

So the queue over there has already come forward, so let's put it aside.

"Why don't you do it. ”

Mrs. Xu did not stand aside because of Xu Zhenna's arrival, and sat aside at this time and motioned to Xu Zhenna: "I still record here." It's slower, but it's always faster than if you did it alone. ”

Xu Zhenna smiled: "Then I'm sorry for you." ”

Mrs. Xu smiled, and it seemed that the two of them also felt the right temper. I inadvertently came to the clan meeting instead of my husband, and I seem to have found a feeling of kinship. Although I feel that the age difference between the two is several years.

It was recorded like this, and it was noon.

It's not finished yet, it's already halfway there. Eat lunch for the time being, and dinner in the evening is the focus. It's what everyone is looking forward to.

It's not that anyone hasn't eaten, it's that such an atmosphere is rare.

There is intrigue in the society, but almost no one knows anyone here, but everyone is a family name.

There is a very relaxed but intimate feeling, which is very happy and happy.

"Let's have a bite to eat. ”

Because of the busy nature of Xu Zhenna's work, plus Mrs. Xu's help. You don't have to go to eat by yourself, my aunt has already sent someone to deliver it.

The two of them also moved and rested.

Wait for the food to be delivered and sit down together.

"I'm getting older. ”

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "I used to sit for a long time and was fine, but now I am a little tired." ”

Xu Zhenna nodded: "It looks very young......"

Said tentatively: "Take the liberty of asking, age ......"

Mrs. Xu smiled: "At the age of forty-nine, I will be almost fifty." ”

Xu Zhenna was stunned, and then smiled: "Ernie." Exactly ten years older than me. ”

Mrs. Xu was surprised, and then shook her head: "It doesn't look like it." It's thirty-four or five-year-old. ”

Xu Zhenna suddenly remembered that Han Junyi said that she didn't look like she was in her forties, but she was indeed thirty-nine, and couldn't help laughing.

Mrs. Xu was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Xu Zhenna shook her head: "A naughty nephew." Said I didn't look like I was in my forties. ”

"Moo. ”

Mrs. Xu laughed: "Isn't it thirty-nine......?

Xu Zhenna also smiled: "Then my name is Ernie." ”

Mrs. Xu nodded kindly, and then motioned to eat together.

Chat while eating.

"What does Ernie do?"

Xu Zhenna asked, "It looks like a teaching profession." ”

Mrs. Xu nodded: "The eyesight is very good......

Suddenly stunned: "Maybe it's because you're also a teacher? ”

Xu Zhenna nodded: "A university lecturer." ”

Mrs. Xu suddenly felt closer.

Immediately looking at Mrs. Xu, Xu Zhenna spoke: "Since Ernie's lover doesn't have time, there is no need to force it." Ernidon came to ...... Do you have children in the family who also need to be entered into the family tree?"

Mrs. Xu nodded and smiled: "I have a daughter, although she was three years old when she recorded the family tree last time, but unfortunately she didn't catch up at that time." After hearing about it this time, I didn't have time. But my child, Abba, didn't want to wait, so ......"

Xu Zhenna was stunned, but looked around: "Didn't come?"

Mrs. Xu spoke: "My daughter is also a little busy with work, so ......"

Xu Zhenna was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "The first entry, in today's era, in addition to a good identity name, you may also need a photo." ”

Mrs. Xu nodded: "I know it too." So I asked her to take some time. ”

Immediately looked at Xu Zhenna, Mrs. Xu spoke: "Yes, is it okay to have a photo?"

Xu Zhenna smiled: "If you can come in person, you can come in person, you can't say it again." Anyway, my daughter came in the afternoon. If it's really inconvenient, you can go back to the city and go to my house. ”

Mrs. Xu hurriedly waved her hand: "That can't be disturbed." Let her try to. ”

Xu Zhenna didn't say much, the temper of the two was like this. There is no need to be hypocritical and polite.

After eating, take a break with a cup of tea.

It's also generally clear, about some of the circumstances between each other.

The more we talked, the closer we became.

Mrs. Xu is the principal of a piano school. The husband is in business.

Mrs. Xu also knew that Xu Zhenna was a lecturer at a university, and she was actually a professor. It's just her kind words, and her husband is even more remarkable. He is the vice president of a large group.

It's just that after all, they met for the first time, and the two are humble and gentle tempers and recuperation.

It didn't say anything specific about what school or group, and it seemed a little too frivolous and superficial. It is also necessary to have communicative etiquette.

"Oh Mom. ”

It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that the recording was almost finished.

Kwon Eun-hye found this place, saw the mother of the record there, and stepped forward and shouted.

Xu Zhenna glanced up: "Coming?"

After speaking, he motioned to Mrs. Xu next to him: "This is my daughter, Quan Enhui." ”

Then he said to Quan Enhui: "This is Aunt Xu." ”

Quan Enhui saluted, Mrs. Xu praised a few words, and Quan Enhui cut in line and began to enter the family tree, and then also took pictures and the like.

But at this moment, a person suddenly came in, frowning and looking around, very impatient.

"Who's in charge?"

He looked at the chaos around him and said, "Who is in charge here?"

My aunt was entertaining people on the side, and at this moment, she stepped forward in confusion and said, "What is not in charge?" Who are you?"

The man frowned and looked at her: "This aunt." There is a purpose here, who will give you a clan meeting, and make a fuss. As soon as an important customer comes, leave quickly. ”

After that, I was going to go out.

My aunt was surprised, and before she could chase it out, she suddenly remembered something, turned her head and frowned and shouted: "Xu Zhixun!

Sure enough, a man in his thirties who was a little embarrassed walked not far away: "Aunt Nim ......"

His aunt glared at him, "What's the matter? Didn't you say we should use it?" What's going on?"

Xu Zhixun was very helpless, opened his mouth to explain, but was a little embarrassed, and muttered casually......

"Who knew it would take that long?"

"Yikes!!"

The aunt glared at him, and at this time, Xu Zhenna saw that the movement had come, and took her aunt and said, "What's the matter? Who was the person just now?"

Mrs. Seo also stood aside, along with Kwon Eun-hye.

Everyone looked at Xu Zhixun, and it didn't take long for them to seem to understand something.

And understand what to face next.
